Hey guys and gals. I was hoping to get some help with xmas ideas for my granddad. He's always been really tough to shop for, but this year is even harder i feel.He's had just about every hobby you could imagine over the years. He's done archery, horseback riding, welding, boating, woodworking, cycling, running, golfing, you name it and he's probably forgotten more about it than you'll ever know. Sometimes his hobbies would intersect (like when he built a strip canoe 100% from scratch - like made his own glue and everything), but he always came out being the best at everything.He retired this year, which has really taken an emotional toll on him i think. Not just because he's such an incredibly hard worker and basically built this company on his own (though it's a big part of it) - but also because he no longer has access to the tools or shop space he had while he was working at the plant. He doesn't really have the space for big projects at home, and honestly i think he doesn't really know what to do with himself. He goes to the grocery store multiple times a day just to stay busy (even though he eats subway for most of his meals).If anyone has any gift ideas for him, I'd love to hear. I know my aunts and uncles have already gotten him subway gift cards, so that's definitely out. He's not really into clothes, and my grandmother buys him stuff like that anyway. I'd really like to get him something he'll really enjoy because he's a super badass dude and, as much as i hate to think about it, he's old and won't be around forever.Thanks for reading! via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/a4wm12/suggestions_for_crafty_80year_old/?utm_source=ifttt
